Manganese dioxide (MnO2) under AICIS

MnO2 · 二氧化锰

Status: Listed. Manganese dioxide is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. NOT typically scheduled under SUSMP / Poisons Standard at MnO2 level (verify exact schedule against the current Poisons Standard before relying). NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin manganese dioxide currently (verify against the current Anti-Dumping Commission case list before relying); historical Australian AD/CVD investigation patterns on Chinese steel-grade ferromanganese have occurred, but EMD specifically has been Chinese-source-dominant without active Australian AD. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports. **Australia is a major manganese ore producer (South32 Groote Eylandt NT + Element 25 Butcherbird WA + Tronox / Cristal Woodie Woodie WA EMD)** but a net-importer of EMD-finished battery cathode material from China + Japan.

AICIS treats manganese dioxide as a routine Listed Industrial Chemical. NO active Australian AD/CVD on Chinese-origin MnO2. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. **Australia is a major Mn ore producer but a net-importer of EMD-finished battery cathode material**; primary EMD import sources China (Citic Dameng + Guizhou Redstar + Hunan Tongren + Xiangtan Electrochemical + Guangxi Tianyuan) + Japan (Tosoh + Mitsui). **Alkaline + Zn-C battery cathode + ferromanganese steel + ceramic / pigment downstream chains**.

Classifications under this regime

  • Listed Industrial Chemical on AICIS Inventory
  • Australian GHS classification: Acute Tox. 4 oral + Acute Tox. 4 inhalation + STOT RE 1 nervous-system / lungs (verify against current Safe Work Australia HCIS at https://hcis.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/ before relying)
  • NOT typically scheduled under SUSMP / Poisons Standard at MnO2 level (verify against the current SUSMP / Poisons Standard at https://www.tga.gov.au/products/scheduling-poisons-standard before relying)
  • ADG 7.7: NOT regulated as dangerous goods at solid form
  • **Safe Work Australia WES: 0.02 mg/m3 respirable + 0.1 mg/m3 inhalable for manganese (verify against the current Safe Work Australia Workplace Exposure Standards at https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/exposure-standards before relying; revised low reflecting manganese-induced neurotoxicity)**
  • IARC: Manganese and inorganic manganese compounds NOT separately classified

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • NOT typically scheduled under SUSMP / Poisons Standard at MnO2 level
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin manganese dioxide currently (verify against the current Anti-Dumping Commission case list)
  • WHS Regulation 2011 (Acute Tox. 4 + STOT RE 1 nervous-system / lungs handling)
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies (HS 282010)

Importer obligations

AICIS registration required. **Australia is a major Mn ore producer but a net-importer of EMD-finished battery cathode material**; primary EMD import sources China (Citic Dameng Guangxi + Guizhou Redstar + Hunan Tongren + Xiangtan Electrochemical + Guangxi Tianyuan) + Japan (Tosoh Yamaguchi + Mitsui).

Required documents

  • AICIS registration certificate (annual)
  • WHS-compliant SDS (Acute Tox. 4 oral + Acute Tox. 4 inhalation + STOT RE 1 nervous-system / lungs)
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS 282010
  • ChAFTA Form CO

Common compliance traps

The pitfalls that have bitten importers on this lane in the past. None of these is theoretical.

  • AICIS registration must be CURRENT at customs clearance
  • NOT typically scheduled under SUSMP / Poisons Standard at MnO2 level
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin MnO2 (verify per current Anti-Dumping Commission case list)
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies
  • **Safe Work Australia WES 0.02 mg/m3 respirable Mn (revised low reflecting neurotoxicity)**
  • **Australia major Mn ore producer (South32 Groote Eylandt NT + Element 25 Butcherbird WA + Tronox / Cristal Woodie Woodie WA EMD) but net-importer of EMD-finished battery cathode material from China + Japan**
